There are some of those too but, clearly, most of the civilian casualties are from the terrorists, mostly from outside of Iraq. Iraqi's want us there. The new government wants us to stay until we finish training them. We're their guests. They braved multiple elections, some in very dangerous areas, to elect their own leaders. They proved that they can handle Democracy, I think they'll take to freedom just fine. How little must you think of such a rich culture to assume they can't handle freedom or democracy?
